The building structure is the example of an engineering excellence. the huge building looks like a fish and its a eye catcher. as its govt building for fisheries dept, outsiders not allowed. we can only view from outside r from flyover.
The building is iconic. Its structure, its design both are worth to see. You can have a clear panoramic view from PVNR expressway but stopping cars is not allowed on it. So you can go and visit the place and have a great experience of this place. Good place for kids to spend a day out.
A very attractive and eye catching building while you travel accross turns out to be national fisheries department.Take permission and explore for more fun
Awesome creative of engineering view of building is beautiful...👍
It is one of the most beautiful structured building, which is in Fish Design.. it is located near Attapur.. and popularly known as Fish Building in local😛.
A Few years back many people did not know about this development promotion agency. Now, it is not just the building, which is in the form of Fish, but it planning to reach to every fisherman and fisher women through their helping hand so as to not only retain their confidence in fisheries sector but also convert this sector as one the most attractive in terms of enhancing the earnings of both the people as well as state. If the same tempo is continued for couple of years blue revolution is going to be the golden revolution.
Very noticeable from far.Has become a landmark.Has given a message to general public that something related to fisheries is happening there
Must say an interesting looking building from far as you enter Hyderabad from south. Nicely made.
The building is so much attractive... NFDB - National Fisheries Development Board
This humorous fish-shaped building.. unofficial Fish Building.. is a regional office for the National Fisheries Development Board located near Attapur, Hyderabad, India. According to Outlook India, the 4-story building is inspired by a “giant fish sculpture in Barcelona,” presumably the 1992 monumental sculpture “Fish,” by Frank Gehry. The building officially opened in April 2012.The four-storey building was officially opened in April 2012, and was reportedly inspired by Frank Gehrys monumental ‘Fish’ sculpture in Barcelona which was completed in 1992.The building is an example of mimetic architecture, incorporating elements of the fish form into its functionality. This includes the left pectoral fin doubling as an awning above the staircase to the entrance, and the two circular windows acting as eyes.The building is clad in stainless steel panels and, apart from the central core, is completely raised off the ground on pale blue pilotis. Blue-purple spotlights illuminate the building at night, giving the impression that the ‘giant fish’ is swimming through Hyderabad.
First-time when I saw this building it looked like some Restaurant, but later came to know it belongs to National Fisheries Department,Excellent concept for designing such building.. great view from flyover
Very elegant structure. The structure is itself a symbol of fisheries department. Without reading a sign board simply we can understand what it is. I feel it is one of the rarest building with this architectural beauty. Surround of this building is having greenery and this is located on the highway. One should witness this beautiful structure from P V Narasimha rao expressway.
Pleasant place I have ever seen

National Fisheries Development Board
It was a fish-shaped building and I thought it was unusual every time I passed by. Hyderabad is an IT city, but its not that much developed, so its a surprise.
It is the government building of the National Fisheries Development Agency. It is a good angle to enter from the gate a little and shoot.
Good monkey
